Excellence at Mediclinic NICUs
All Mediclinic NICUs contain high care, intensive care, and “growing” beds, and are equipped with the latest medical technology, says Aliné Hall, Clinical Quality Specialist: Child Health Mediclinic Southern Africa. An expert team of doctors, nurses, and other dedicated medical specialists take a family-centred, holistic approach to care. Staff encourage kangaroo mother care, or skin-to-skin contact with the parents, to promote bonding, growth and feeding. Parents are part of all decision-making and kept informed every step of the way. Mediclinic Newcastle Maternity Services Unit and its NICU has received wide praise from parents for its leading-edge facilities, compassionate, expert care, and delivery of top-class medical services to the local community. As Gwen Williams, Nursing Manager of Mediclinic Newcastle’s Maternity Unit, says, “It is an absolute privilege to be the first person to witness the miracle of life every day.”
